2026 Melbourne Autumn Drive Day

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
With the Melbourne Summer Drive Day filling in record time, we’ve opened registration early for our Melbourne Autumn event and would love to see you there.
Why We Drive
DAD drive days are always about connection and community. They hold the intention to normalise mental health challenges and mental illness, promote conversations around these and offer pathways ir jordan 11 low ie bred 199 for seeking further support.
We use driving and the shared enthusiasm for cars and great roads as our way of connecting and escaping downward emotional spirals. We know that connection is vital for mental wellbeing, and DAD events deliver this in spades.
DAD isn’t a club, it’s a community. Please don’t feel you need to have a particular model or age of car to attend – if you love it, bring it.
Our drive days are strictly social and non-competitive. We use open roads and carefully plan our drive routes to make them as safe and logical as possible, while using engaging roads with interesting scenery for a great day out. Safe driving behaviour is a non-negotiable part of our event. Keeping everyone safe on the road is of utmost importance.
We advocate for using DAD drive days as an inclusive environment to start your mental health conversation where you feel comfortable to do so, however, DAD drive days are not a crisis service.
What’s Happening for the 2026 Melbourne Autumn Drive Day?
